Cocoa Ration Body Butter

This is my 4th product under my English Rose
Cosmetics brand of skin care and I’d like to share with you how I’ve developed
this product.

Cream, lotion, butter, oil or soufflé – which is best?

The main thing to look out for is how compatible with the
skin it is, i.e. how quickly it sinks into your skin.A product that is rich in any of the
following ingredients; almond oil, apricot oil, canola oil, coconut oil, jojoba
oil, lecithin, olive oil, shea butter, and soybean oil etc. are all similar to
skins own lipids (oils) and will hence boost the existing lipid barrier.

Synthetic products such as Silicones, Petrolatum, Paraffinum
Liquidum sit at the skin surface and act as a barrier to environmental
aggression and help prevent TEWL (Tran epidermal water loss) so they can be
classed as moisturisers.

Oils
that have high natural oil content (a lot contain silicones) will be the
most compatible, but can be messy to apply.

Lotions
often take a long time to be absorbed as they have a high silicone
content, however in more humid climates
they may be preferred

Creams,
butters and soufflé are typically thicker than lotions.My preference is for butters as I like
the buttery texture usually attributed to high cocoa or shea butter
content.The natural characteristic
of these is that they are solid at room temperature yet melt when applied
to the skin.

What should we expect for a Body Butter/Cream, lotion,
oil etc?

When applying a body product to our skin we are enhancing
the function of the skin in its role as a barrier against the environment.If we lose too much moisture our skin
becomes dryer, thinner and less elastic, and more vulnerable to environmental
attack and wrinkles.Therefore we need
to preventing moisture loss (TEWL) or boosting skin moisture levels with skin
compliant oils and water.

Skin that is not looked after will manifest by being dry,
flaky, inflamed, redness, wrinkly so the message is look after you skin and it
will look after you.

Cocoa Ration Body Butter from English Rose Cosmetics

Cocoa butter is used at a high level and is 2nd
on the ingredient list, next are emulsifiers and light oils as emollients, 10th
on the list is glycerine which is a natural based humectant (locks in moisture)
11th is Shea Butter and Avocado Oil is 12th on the list. I’ve
used a little bit of Beeswax to help with the structure, Coconut fragrance
(free of allergens) and Vanilla which combined gives it a lovely fragrance that
is good enough to eat.

I do not use Petrol in any of my products ie
Petrolatum or Paraffinum Liquidum – there are so many more effective vegetable
products which are more expensive, but our skin deserves it.

It is packed in a recyclable 200ml jar with retro aluminium
lid, with a wide enough neck to put your fingers in to scoop out the butter.
